What Do Your Usernames Mean?

[Coy]

Coy: This means stealth, sly, and witty.

 

[RabidAlien]

[tyrodtom]

I'm on a circle track racing team, Tyrod Racing, and my name's Tom, a lot of people at the tracks called me Tyrodtom already, so I just adopted it for my online ID.

 

[Elmas]

Elmas is the name of the seaplane and landplane airport of my town.

Very famous, from there started many of the Balbo and De Pinedo cruises in the '30s.

Here two IMAM Ro. 1 flying over the lagoon: at the stick of the plane in the front there's the Gen. Aldo Costa (Lieutenant, in those days) wich I had the pleasure to meet in his seventies.

Gen Costa in this picture is at the extreme right: the photo explains well his nickname "Metrocubo" (cubic metre).....

Gen. Costa took his wings on the Spad XIII in the '20s and flew on reconnaissance aircraft Ro. 37 during the Aethiopian War.

Here the Cant. Z 506 i-LAMA taking off from the same lagoon for a transatlantic flight to Brasil in 1937:

and another picture taken during the war:

Brand new to this forum and this is my first post...so tread lightly! Great site from what I have seen so far! Volume and quality of information is top shelf.

User name: 5bR6897....Spit Mk 5b ...serial number R6897 and coded DB*Z. Flown by my uncle with 411 RCAF.

Written off in Jan 43 mid air with Spit AB847 killing my uncle...P.O. Gilbert Frederick Brown/Toronto, Ont.

I would also appreciate any additional info that anyone might have on his incident or my uncle.

Thanks in advance!

Did you manage to find one?

My initials AC and I'm into 'planes. I was given the nick at 9 by my best friend, and we've stuck together through thin and thinner ever since.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool, welcome aboard fellas.

 

[CORSNING]

I wanted to combine the names of two awesome planes and Spitstang didn't sound right. Kittycat was taken, though Wildhawk sounded pretty good. Zerscar just wasn't going to cut it. Tempicane? Fockeschmitt I didn't want to change the the rating of this sight from PG-13 to XXX. Hurrisquito........Nah, that wasn't gonna work. Beaupest, well you figure how well that would of worked. Gladiant....Oh, I don't know either. I finally decided on the King and Queen of the Pacific.

 

[CJWensleydale]

We hosted a wine and cheese party whereby my friends and I all promptly got very, very drunk, formed a cheese club and gave each other special cheese club names consisting of the first two initials of your name and...wait for it...a random type of cheese!

We don't get out much down here...

Aaaand - welcome to this cheese emporium. But I'm afraid the Fromage d'La Belle France is a triffle runny .......

 

[CJWensleydale]

Thats ok - I don't like cheese on my trifle!..

[Wayne Little]
